Tip Jar: Updates on Broken Strings Brewery, American Gymkhana and more

Broken Strings Brewery won't be opening in Ivanhoe Village after all. According to a post on Broken Strings' Facebook page, the landlord of the former ROH Construction space on Virginia Drive didn't make the necessary building improvements on time, and so they had to pull out. They still hope to find a location in the neighborhood – how about the recently vacated Elliott's Public House space?

Details are still being hammered out, but look for a singular farm-to-table event at American Gymkhana featuring chefs Hari Pulapaka (Cress) and Aarthi Sampath (American Gymkhana) in late February. The event will likely feature wine and cocktail pairings courtesy of Jenneffer Pulapaka and award-winning mixologist Hemant Pathak.
